As a member of the National Guard, Gwendolyn Lindsay-Jackson responded to the attack on September, 11, 2001. As a lawyer, she brought legal services directly to those who were helping to clean up and rescue survivors after the disaster. "Maj. Jackson and fellow attorney Maj. Alexander Selkirk of New York staffed the temporary field headquarters for the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps. section of the Headquarters Aviation Brigade, 42nd Infantry Division U.S. Army, a National Guard unit," wrote the Judiciary Times of her service.
With Lindsay-Jackson's personal connection to 9/11, she decided to start a petition here on change.org calling for a congressional investigation and for the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to revoke the license of News Corp. if it continues to violate people's privacy. "The British government is investigating and now the Australians are also calling for an investigation of Murdoch's papers there. Americans also need to know whether our privacy was violated by Murdoch reporters searching for a good scoop to sell news," explains the petition.
If you, too, are disturbed by News Corp.'s abuses, you can help by signing Lindsay-Jackson's petition. News outlets can't simply disregard our privacy in the search for sensational stories. Tell Congress they must investigate News Corp. Tell the FCC they need to take away News Corp.'s license if they continue to break the law. We need to know if laws were broken. We need to know whose privacy was compromised. We need to stop those responsible. Sign the petition now.
